SERDES technology adoption has greatly increased the frequencies used in digital signaling— even a “mainstream” protocol like PCIe Gen3 runs at 8 Gb/s. Designers who still think of HyperLynx as primarily ‘fast and easy SI’ need to take a serious, fresh look at how dramatically the product has strengthened and matured.” “HyperLynx has long been a widely used high-speed tool in the industry now it’s become the most powerful and best integrated as well. Incorvaia, vice president and general manager of Mentor Graphics Systems Design Division. €œThis version of HyperLynx is the culmination of intensive investment by Mentor in its high-speed tools,” stated A.J. The product now combines a super-fast geometry extraction engine and advanced materials modeling (for wideband dielectrics, copper roughness, etc.) to produce highly accurate simulations. Mentor has invested heavily in HyperLynx analysis technology, particularly for interconnect modeling. Users can simulate a critical SERDES channel one minute, and then — by selecting a single new menu item — switch to analysis of a large power net’s decoupling. By contrast, the HyperLynx tool now offers 2D/3D signal and power integrity analysis in a single application, with one GUI. Most tool sets offered by a single EDA vendor typically require switching applications and user interfaces for different types of analysis. High-speed PCBs vary greatly in size, layer count, routing density, signaling speed, types of silicon used, and power-delivery challenges.

“With the new, unified HyperLynx environment, we have one flow where we can do everything – a significant advantage.” €œWe have deployed a ‘shift left’ strategy where we perform simulation early in the design process to achieve ‘first time right’ products,” stated Hans Klos, CEO of Sintecs BV, Netherlands. Spanning a wide range of underlying simulation engines and a graphical user interface (GUI) that supports both quick/interactive and exhaustive batch-mode analysis, the HyperLynx product now sets a new standard for deployment of high-speed capabilities in one easy-to-use environment. Based on the popular HyperLynx signal integrity/power integrity (SI/PI) application, this product for the first time offers designers a complete set of analysis technology sufficient for designing any type of high-speed digital printed circuit board (PCB).

Mentor Graphics Corporation today announced its newest HyperLynx® release which integrates signal and power integrity analysis, 3D-electromagnetic solving, and fast rule checking into a single unified environment.
